I
really like this quote. We can all relate to this and particularly for you as
an artist or designers.

We
all have dreams whether they are big or small. Dreams give us hope for our
future. To achieve our dreams that is where goals will play a major role in
helping us achieve our dreams.

Remember, a goal without an action
plan is just a wish. And in the real world, wishes don't often come true.

But what if you had a way to
eliminate all the distractions that hold you back from getting what you want?

Imagine cutting through the clutter
to get to the heart of your true desires. How confident would you feel knowing
you had definite goals and a plan to ensure your success in finally achieving
your dreams?

Once you know what you really want,
you gain clarity. With clarity, you
gain focus. With focus, you get results!

Sounds like an easy thing to do, but
without a concrete plan and incremental steps, it will be difficult to achieve
anything worthwhile.

Dream and Goals are two separate
things and a lot of people get confused and thinking that goals are dreams and
dreams are the same as goals.

So what is the difference between a Dream
and a Goal?

A dream is your long-term desire
and you shouldn’t be able to achieve it in a flash. If you can achieve
your desire in a week, a month, three months or even six months, your dream is
too small and you need to crave for bigger things. Dreams are the desires that will drive
you to achieve your goals and provide you with the motivation to complete all
the tasks that you’ll need to complete.

Your
dreams should be things that get you excited yet perhaps infuse some fear and
get you to find answers to your own questions like, "How am I going to get
there?" Remember this, if your dream is truly worthy, you would do anything
to achieve it, no matter what!

A goal on the other hand is a
stepping stone that leads you towards your dreams. A goal is something you can
achieve in a short period of time...like in an hour, days or even weeks. So set
purpose goals that will help you get closer to your dreams.

Your goals should not take years to
achieve. If you have one perhaps you need to portion your goal down to smaller
tasks so you can achieve your goals sooner. A long term goal will more than
likely discourage you from achieving your result as it keeps dragging on to the
point where you
start to self sabotage with your head chatter telling yourself “I am not
getting anywhere, this goal is too hard, too much work”. So what do you do? You
give up and start working on other things beside your goals!!!

In short, a dream is a HUGE thing that takes time
to achieve whereas a goal is easier
to manage and is something you can get it done in a short period of time. Goals
are like a way patting yourself on the back for doing things to move your life
forward in the right direction.
